why Peruvian women Look Pretty.

Peruvian women have the reputation
of being remarkably handsome, but a
resident of Lima says.it is all due to the
'.manta" which they wear. No matter
how ugly her mouth or nose is; no matter
how high her cbeek-bodes or large her
ears: no matter whether she is as
scrawny as scarecrow or as bald as bat.
''manta'' will make any woman with
pretty eyes look handsome, and, like char
ity, 1t covers a multitude of sins. This
garment. which is peculiar to Peru and is
worn by ladies of all ages and social posi-
tions, from the presidents wife to the
laundress who comes after your linen, is a
sort of foster-sister to the mantilla of
Spain. 1t 10 usually of crepe. from China,
and costs any where from $40 to $500. ac-
cording to its quality.

Died From a Lead-PenciI WOund 4.
Boston Herald

H. Barber, a merchant of Florence, while
standing in front of his shop was approached
by friend from the rear. who threw his
arm over Barber's neck, drawing his head
downward and bringing his right eye In
contact with lead pencil which his friend
had in his pocket. The pencil, about an
inch and half long, entered the eye and
was SO completely concealed as to battle the
skill of physicians to find it. After remain
ing in the eye about two months the pencil
came out, and it was then thought that
Barber would recover, but the lead had
poisoned the optic nerve, and later the
brain became similarly affected. Yesterday
he died.

Rocco embroidery is extremely pretty for
decorating articles for the toilet, scent sachet
and similar objects. This embroidery is exc
cuted with narrow ribbons of various colors,
which form the leaves and flowers, and a
chain stitching Of embroidery silk, for the
stems and veinings The pattern is first
stamped on the goods, and care should be
taken to completely cover the outlines; tho
satin or silk needs to be secured in an EN-
broidery frame for this work.
In the cut here given is illustrated how
each leaf is formed with a single stitch, the
ribbon being folded lengthwise, and drawn
through the goods at the beginning and end
Of each stitch, to give it the proper form.
Longer or shorter stitches are arranged
singly or in groups to compose the different
flowers and sprays Of leaves, as shown in the
main figure in the cut

How to Root Cuttings.

Many plants may be propagated with
ease from cuttings, provided one knows
just how to proceed. Susan Power, in
American Garden, gives in detail some
exceedingly careful directions, from which
the following points are Cleaned: Tho
pots and soil, or cutting bed, should be
made ready beforehand, so that slips may
be promptly placed therein as soon rs cut
The best cutting is shoot of new growth
Just before it grows woody ut all or
fibrous, but will snap OFF clean without
strings This should have three buds, if
possible, though one leaf and leaf bud will
start in good care. Roots start from the
bud at the base Of the leaf sooner than
from any other part Take Off all leaves
for an inch or two and stick the cutting in
sand to the lowest bud. The essential
thing is to keep cuttings entirely fresh till
planted by setting in water, or, what is
better, wrapping them lightly in Il moist
cloth. The loss Of their sap by evapora
ton before or after setting is their death.
Boxes three inches deep, half filled with
sand and u light mixture of fibry soil or
leaf mold, faced Off with an inch Of pure
sand, make good cutting beds when a
number are to be struck us with coleus,
alternantheras and bedding plants gener-
ally, when one wants plenty to use and
some to give away.
For few cuttings, the best thing is a
six inch flower pot, the drain hole plugged
with a cork, two inches of broken bits of
crock laid in, and Il porous pot, half the
size or less, set within the larger one and
kept full of water. Between the rims of
the two pots, which should be on level,
the space is filled with sand, in which the
cuttings are set against the outer rim and
we'll wet. The draining from the inside
pot of water keeps the cuttings always
moist, and they hasten to root. Sand is
best, being easy for the tender root
threads to enter and free from decaying
particles, which in soil cause cuttings to
rot at once. But when the first roots are
made known by the freshening of the
terminal bud or shoot Of the cutting, i'm
mediately pot or change to richer soil that
has food for the plant, or it will lose
strength. Prompt planting must be given.
Shade all cuttings for the first day or
two, until the first shock of the change is
over. When danger Of tagging is past
give cuttings the stimulus of light, shad-
ing from hot sun and wind. Seeds and
cuttings never start more delightfully."-
than under shades Of oiled paper tied over
the pot or tackled on the box. For open
ground, frames with oiled cotton covers
should be used to protect tender cuttings
from changes of temperature.

The number of yellow painted houses
with white trimmings which one meets on
a drive few miles out of town is remark
able, and red, which used to be reserved
for barns, has taken place on dwellings.
1t seems to me that this movement is q
sensible one, within certain limits, but
that these bright colors are most at
tractive when sparingly used. A house
that stands at distance from others will
bear them, but rows Of yellow and red
houses make one long for a brown or even
white painted dwelling to relieve their
glaring monotony. / have heard it said
that yellow should be reserved for the old
colonial style of dwellings; but as this has
become the rage, relief from an oppressive
uniformity must be found IN the adoption
of new key of color for houses Of differ
ent architectural form.-Boston Post.

A HAMMOCK TENT.

Cut four strong sticks about five or six
feet long and as thick as ones arm. Point
these and drive in the ground in form Of
a parallelogram. Tie a strong rope be-
tween the end sticks and fasten the ham
mock to them. If the tops Of the sticks
are bent over and tied together large
square Of netting may be thrown over to
protect the sleeper from insects, or a
square of canvas in the day time to keep
off the glare Of the sun.
The hammock here illustrated is made
of barrel slaves dashed to two pieces Of
strong rope about eight feet long. In
place of this can be substituted Irvine
or other hammock, such as are for sale at
the stores, but the home made contrivance
will be found much better than none at
all

Until quite recently but little colored
glass, with the exception OF common black
and amber bottles, was made in this country
Now quite number OF glass works are en-
gagged In its manufacture exclusively, and at
Others it forms large Part OF the product
Some OF the most beautiful colored glass pro-
duced in the world, rivaling in depth and
richness OF cooring, as well a. in beauty OF
design, that from th" famous works Of
Europe, is made at the flint glass works Of
the United States.
The coloring materials most largely en-
ployed are iron, manganese, copper, cobalt
and gold. These are generally used US
oxides, though in some cases, but very rarely,
other compounds are used In addition to
the above, arsenic, uranium, chromium and
silver are occasionally employed.

svrun for Preserving Fruit.

Preserves put up in self sealing glass jars
need not be made as sweet as with the old
methods Three-quarters of a pound OF sugar
to pound OF fruit is now the usual rule IN
preserving in Theoretically sealed jars or cans.
Not few people find half pound of sugar
to q pound of fruit more agreeable in the
case of the less tart varieties. In making the
syrup for preserves allow half pint of water
to each pound of sugar. Put over the fire IN
a white porcelain saucepan, and before the
syrup becomes hot stir we'll into it the white
of an egg partly beaten up. When it begins
to boil remove the scum, and let it boil till
scum no more rises, then put in the fruit and
boil gently.
